Ordinary Genius by Kim Addonizio
The creative process is just that, maintains Kim Addonizio. Not a means to an end, but an ongoing participation. A widely acclaimed poet and finalist for the National Book Award, Addonizio meditates on her own process as she encourages writers to explore both their personal and political worlds, to seek inspiration from poets new and old, and to discover the rich poetic resources of the Internet. Lively, accessible, and informative, Ordinary Genius?provides wisdom gleaned through personal experience and offers a heady variety of writing exercises. Chapters on gender, addiction, race and class, metaphor and line invite each individual writer to find and to hone his or her unique voice. This is the perfect book for both experienced writers and beginners eager to glimpse the angel of poetry.Kim Addonizio is the author of numerous critically acclaimed poetry books, including What Is This Thing Called Love and Tell Me, a National Book Award finalist in 2000. Her work has appeared in literary publications and anthologies such as The Paris Review, Microfiction, Narrative, The Mississippi Review, and others. Addonizio lives in Oakland, California, and has received a Guggenheim Fellowship and two NEA fellowships.
